![How To Take Photos At Night - [7 Tips and Tricks]](/img/tr.png)
I have been watching lots of videos on minimalistic photography as its an upcoming Photo Club theme. I got some great tips here. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This is a subject I am very interested in, yet struggle with. I feel minimalistic images invoke calm, and reflective thoughts. Even so, when I set out to create them, I often fail. Thank you for another great video!
Study michael Kenna's work! It will really help you "see" minimalistic images.
I find the minimal approach is great for Wild life photography. I love to isolate my subject.
This video gave me a solution for a photo I wanted to take for months. I might even try it today. Thanks.
Great to hear!
Please share it when you're done!
Very nice tips congratulations Peter!!! 👏👏👏
Thank you.
@@ForsgardPeter my pleasure 👏👏👏
I just love your channel ❤....your topics always hit the spot and are great for challenging your audience to learn ...be well and thanks for being there for all of us ..
Thank you so much!
I primarily pursue images on the street. A method I’ve been experimenting with is the use of wide aperture combined with neutral density filters in order to isolate the subject. The filters reduce the probability of over exposure; the wide aperture yields shallow depth of field thus isolating the subject from both foreground and background.
That works well.
Thanks a lot for these useful tips. As always much appreciated...
Excellent video about a subject I very much enjoy. I needed a refresher and your tips did the trick.
Thank you Peter for very informative V,log,s. Plenty of time to study in lockdown here in the UK, fairly new to Oympus digi photography, whole new learning curve from my Canon SLR day,s in the last century!!
Muy bueno tu enfoque en cuanto a la fotografía minimalista. Gracias
I'd like to thank you for the essential but great lesson.
Glad it was helpful.
Best add I’ve seen in a long time!
I think this has been your best video for a long time, I found it quite inspiring and it has re-awoken my interest in the challenges of minimalism, thank you
Wow, thank you!
Hi Peter - thank you once again for a fabulously informative video. I agree with others below, one of your most helpful streams. I regularly look forward to your videos as I learn so much. Will send along an image for this assignment. Best wishes.
Great. Thank you.
I love these videos with assignments! I'm learning lots. I hope you'll make this a series and a playlist to come back to.:) Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Will do a playlist of these assignments. Now I only have them in my Live Stream Playlist.
@@ForsgardPeter Too bad I joined the party too late and missed this assignment. Hoping to catch the next one. :)
The next one will be about Light & Shadow. You have about a month to make the photograph.
Very helpful video. Thanks. 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Peter - A very thoughtful video on an interesting subject with the usual good tips to develop capabilities
Many thanks!
thanks for the valued video. i some times fell confused when speaking about simplicity and minimalism . i hope the next video comment in this 2 concepts.
thank you very much again for this interesting video! I pretty much like your way of highlighting the important characteristics of all kinds of subjects/ways of capturing scenes. Sorry, my English is not so good. Anyhow, minimalism is quite fascinating but challenging also. Will give it a try. Your insights are allways great and show your deep knowledge on photography,
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it!
Minimalist photography is one of my favourite style, great video!
You have an interesting photography channel, I've just discovered it. Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
I'm a big fan of your channel , me and my wife both have a Olympus OMD1mark2 and a OMD5mark2 ..you are a big inspiration for us . Thanks Peter
Wow, thank you!
Peter, for me, Max Bill of Bauhaus, represents minimalism. Horology is also an interest of mine. Max Bill was hired by Junghans of Germany to create watch faces. He was very successful.
Love this video very informative
Glad it was helpful!
that's great, friend thanks ! :)
Shooting with a constraint (one lens/one camera) is a great way to stretch your creative brain. You have to think about the image a lot more when your gear is limited.
Yes, I agree. It is a good way of learning.
Excellent video that should best be seen together with you explanation on negative space. As the Germans say "in der Beschränkung zeigt sich erst der Meister"-) Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much!
What does that mean?
Great video👍
Thanks 👍
Very good video. Carlos from Argentina
Thank you.
Very interesting subject and great video my finance is minimalistic
Thank you.
The photo shown at 8:20 is fantastic :)
Thank you.
Always bother to follow your explanations on different topics.
It gives a lot of insight into how some situations can be addressed
Like this one about minilist
Thank you
Thanks.
Thank you very much... 👍👍🙏🙏👍 Question... , does the "High Resolution" function support long exposure...?? . Thanks... 🙏🙏👋 "Saludos... Buen vídeo..." 👋👋😃👍👌 "Gracias..." 🙏
Yes it does.
@@ForsgardPeter 👍🙏😃👋
Thank you so much for your videos. I would have not forgiven myself if I had bought anything else but the Olympus M43 system. Today I bought my Olympus E-PL9 with kit lens and with 45mm f1.8 to begin with.
Next I want to buy a circular polarizer, a must for me! I was wondering, have you already made a video about the usage of a polarizer in the past?
Not a dedicated video, but I have this video about filters. th-cam.com/video/dOC-w3NlBik/w-d-xo.html
Leave the swan in the photo (excellent image!) ... “minimalistic” with swan, “empty” without.
I agree that the swan should be there. It just an example what the difference is what comes to minimalism.
Great info. I do have a couple of shots I would like to have some feedback on. Where can I send to?
I have had these assignments in that past. You might want tol look at this video about an ongoing assignment series. th-cam.com/video/bp8CJGylLK4/w-d-xo.html
Nice video! Btw. I think it was Oman, not Yemen. Seen from Jebel Hafeet 😉
My bad, yes you are right. Great place to photograph in the evening.
Interesting. These have a true Nordic Vibe to them that I was first turned on to here when I was visiting my son in Copenhagen
fotografiskcenter.dk
Mads Peter Iversen, a Danish photographer I follow offers the same Nordic sensibilities: quite, understated and not, unlike many North American photographers, in your face.
If I had to encapsulate what I learned while visiting various galleries in DK was that economy of line and space are keys.
Thanks for this.
Thanks. Mads Peter Iversen is a great photographer.
Watched this great video too late.. (It will be online in 10, 20 or even more years, unless you delete it). One thing: Macro photography is great for making minimalistic images. I bet you can make a dozen or more great minimalistic images without even leaving your home (or living room or kitchen), as many of us are supposed to nowadays...
Yes you are right.
It's the classic photograph of a black cat in a coal cellar ;-)
or an egg with white background.
@@ForsgardPeter actually, if you do the white-on-white or black-in-black really well, you'll create an incredibly powerful image. It's a technique I've often used in my career as a professional photographer. "Understated" is the term I use.

0:49 Geometric perhaps? Geographical makes no sense to me in this context.
yes.
.??
Very minimalistic comment!
@@ForsgardPeter too many ?
Less is more
More or less...
